Synopsis:

Following a hurtful divorce, a female journalist takes a solitary holiday to rebuild her self-esteem and boost her determination never to be vulnerable again. However, she soon has a change of heart when, during a walk along the seashore, she discovers a mysterious message-in-a bottle that houses a passionate love letter signed simply "G." Moved by the letter's poetry and heart-wrenching romanticism, she embarks on a journey to find "G" and ultimately the restoration of her own broken faith in the promise of love.
